Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the numerous natural compounds, known as cannabinoids, found in hemp plants. With extensive research supporting its potential health benefits, CBD has shown effectiveness in relieving various conditions, including pain, inflammation, insomnia, and anxiety. This compound is extracted from hemp plants and carefully formulated into a range of natural wellness products, such as tinctures, topicals, and edibles, designed to promote overall well-being.

Not all Cannabinoids have psychoactive properties.  THC is the most well known cannabinoid that produces the "High".CBD, CBG and many others may provide benefits without the psychoactive feeling. 

Within our bodies, there exists a complex system called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) that plays a crucial role in regulating various functions such as sleep, mood, appetite, hormones, and memory, among others. The primary objective of the ECS is to maintain homeostasis, ensuring a balanced internal environment. To illustrate, when we experience an injury, the ECS swiftly responds by reducing the release of activators and sensitizers, thereby minimizing pain and damage.

So, where does CBD come into play in this intricate process?Our bodies naturally produce Endocannabinoids, which interact with ECS receptors to manage our biological processes. CBD derived from hemp acts in a similar way to these naturally occurring Endocannabinoids. It engages directly with ECS receptors, assisting in the regulation of various physiological functions. 

Naturallyoccurring cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant such as CBD, THC, CBG, etc.   Phyto-cannabinoids are thought to work similarly as the body's Endocannabinoids to help regulate certain body functions.Fun Fact-Cannabis and Hops(humulus) are in the  Cannabaceae family.  It has been reported that certain strains of hops produce phyto-cannabinoids such as CBD.
